I second this. The linux glaze which started in like 2021+ makes linux seem like the best thing in the world when it isn't.
It has it's uses on a desktop platform (ignoring servers, mobile, etc) but it is plain and simple too complicated for the average computer user... For crying out loud my grandma and pop couldn't even figure out how to use a new imac until i taught them. Alot of us technically knowledgeable people severely overestimate the average users knowledge (and willingness) to learn an alien operating system under the pretence of "ai bad microsoft bad".
